This unit
The Anritsu 69037B is a ultra low noise synthesized CW generator delivering exceptional signal purity across 2 GHz to 20.0 GHz. Engineered for RF applications demanding minimal phase noise - achieving -107 dBc at 10 kHz offset from 10 GHz - this instrument excels in mixer and amplifier characterization, RADAR testing, and complex signal generation. Output spans -125 dBm to +17 dBm with selectable 1 kHz or 0.1 Hz frequency resolution.
Internal and downloadable modulation capabilities include AM, FM, phase modulation, pulse modulation with doublet/triplet/quadruplet sequences, and arbitrary waveform synthesis. Sweep modes support step, analog, and manual operation with variable dwell times and 1 to 10,000 configurable steps. GPIB control is standard; SCPI programmability and ovenized time base stability are available via options.

Anritsu 69037B — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Anritsu 69037B. Calibration covers output frequency accuracy, output power level accuracy across the full frequency range, AM/FM/PM/pulse modulation accuracy, harmonic and spurious output levels, and phase noise floor verification. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common Anritsu 69037B faults: YIG oscillator failure (no output or loss of lock), step attenuator wear (output drops or steps at set attenuation), ALC loop failure (uncontrolled output power), I/Q modulator assembly failure. HP/Agilent 836xx series most common faults are YIG oscillator failure and step attenuator contact wear causing output steps or drops at specific attenuation settings. Keysight E4428C/E4438C units most commonly develop ALC loop failure and I/Q modulator assembly faults. YIG oscillator replacement and attenuator service are stocked repairs.
